A dialogue for an inclusive and sustainable development
The redevelopment and revitalization of the Bridge-Bonaventure and Pointe-du-Moulin sector will truly create a dynamic and unifying neighbourhood that will help strengthen the urban fabric of Montreal, while respecting its economic, cultural and social heritage.
The proposed densification will allow for more space for parks, waterfront trails, community and cultural facilities, as well as funding for more abundant green spaces.
The urban development professionals are at the heart of the revival of this historic and promising sector, alongside renowned private and public partners.
Our Vision
Located at the foot of the Victoria Bridge, a short distance from the Old Port and at the heart of the future Réseau express métropolitain (REM), the Bridge-Bonaventure sector has great potential for the creation of a new urban landscape that complements the City of Montreal's vision. The complete transformation of this area will be part of the desire for continuity and re-urbanization of the sector, which will contribute substantially to breaking down urban barriers.
A consortium of professionals in architecture, urban planning, and real estate development have recently consulted nineteen organizations on the development vision of the Bridge – Bonaventure – Pointe-du-Moulin sector.
These key organizations are unanimous: the redevelopment must be in harmony with the current and future employment areas, and the architectural design shall be innovative and bold with a focus on the area’s unique character to create a wow factor.
These organizations also emphasized on the value of the sustainable development approach, the importance of active and public transportation, the respect of the City of Montréal's By-law for a diverse metropolis, as well as the urban agriculture component, which are all crucial elements of this ambitious project.

Consultations on the City Vision: towards an urban and mobility plan
Brief presented to the Office de consultation publique de Montréal (OCPM)
The redevelopment of the area involves making it multifunctional and mixed-use, both socially and economically. This includes the development of 1,400 family housing units, 20% social and affordable housing, the creation of a civic hub that can include a public school, and the integration of commercial and office spaces.
Integration and urban mobility
The new development will be an example of integration and mobility. Perfectly aligned with the REM's route and station, its configuration will allow for the creation of a new subdivision in relation to the existing urban fabric, while offering the opportunity to redevelop Bridge Street and the railway overpass.
The banks of the Lachine Canal would thus be accessible to the public again through the creation of green spaces that would highlight this landmark of Montreal's industrial history.
Cleantech Cluster
The entire planned project would cover approximately 5 million square feet, the main component of which would be the establishment of a centre specializing in the research and development of clean technology companies.
This will act as a vector and catalyst for the redevelopment of this former industrial district, ensuring a natural transition between its historic character and its great potential for the future.
